CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Annessa Chumbley: "I strongly did not agree with some of the foundational food philosophies of this book, but I absolutely loved the scientific explanations of processes, food history, affects on BG, etc. Overall, a GREAT resource!"

Brenda Sullivan: "I loved the reliable, peer reviewed & research based information on a timely topic."

Courtney Goff: "A very descriptive resource. Especially liked the section on special diets - wonderful run down of how to interpret and educate patients."

Heather Leonard: "Important topic with a lot of misinformation out in the world. Good to have a book (and course) to nicely summarize the research and evidence."
